Honestly, this thread went beyond all imagination. What the crap we are doing here if you can't connect 3 wires?
You should admit it does not work for you and decide what to do with the drive, bin it or ask pro help.

Clone it with either ddrescue or HDDSuperClone. I would recommend HDDSuperClone since you say the drive goes offline, as ddrescue is not able to detect when a drive is not responding.
And since you say you can get 80% of the first 400+GB partition, that would indicate there is not a bad head, at least not yet. It could indicate a partial access problem, or media damage, or both. You need to try to clone it with a tool that uses a log, so that good data is not needed to be read again.
FYI, pepe already suggested to clone it with HDDSuperClone in this thread, and apparently you have not listened.

I noted that hddsuperclone didn't had the option to select a partion only , just a whole disk , also in the live cd , it wasn't possible to start virtual disk drive

You can’t fix this drive. I can tell much more from an actual progress log file, but from the screenshot it appears that it has a bad spot of media damage on a platter. The good news is that it could be a very decent recovery, assuming the drive survives long enough. You need to let the hddsuperclone algorithm do its job, at least through phase 2. After phase 2 it will be digging hard into the bad spot, and it could kill a head, and the drive could die at any time. Or as previously stated, the butter is melting very fast.
If you want a better analysis, I would need the actual progress log file. If you can’t attach files due to lack of posts, you could paste the log file text into a code box.
